Binary Impact

Each passing holiday season has become a critical, missed chance for Sony to catch up with the Xbox 360, and it’s starting to become silly to say “maybe next year.”

According to Microsoft reported retailer data, the Xbox 360 outsold the PS3 3:1 in the US on Black Friday. Needless to say, aside from sales on that particular day, it’s probably an indicator of complete 2008 holiday sales for these two competitors.  One thing I have to say is, was this not expected? I mean the 360 is now significantly cheaper so I would consider a 50:50 sales a good thing for Sony.  Alas that did not happen, but at least Sony can still hope for next year since this console is supposed to “last 10 years.”

Nintendo has not released news of their sales on Black Friday. But my guess is that if Microsoft toppled that giant, even for a day, they would have mentioned it (at the top of their lungs from the tallest mountain they could find).
